This Election Day, voters in Mississippi and South Dakota will get to choose whether or not to legalize medical marijuana, and voters in Arizona, Montana, New Jersey, and South Dakota will get to say yay or nay to legalizing recreational marijuana. In Oregon, where the weed already flows like wine, voters will see a ballot question on legalizing the use of psilocybin; the psychedelic chemical in magic mushrooms. Oregon also has a measure that would decriminalize all drugs, which would essentially be the first major stepping stone to ending the drug war in at least one U.S. state.So what makes a successful campaign to legalize? And what can advocates do between now and November 3rd to make sure their message gets out there? This episode, Brit talks to Jim Borghesani, the former Director of Communications for “Yes on 4” - Massachusetts' successful marijuana legalization initiative that passed in 2016.

Brit talks to Nurse Practitioner Dale Buckman and Registered Nurse Sherri Tutkus -- about cannabis' place in the opioid epidemic. Carl Stevens talks to Jim Borghesani about how many pot shops we will see on July 1st in MA.

Jim Borghesani returns as a follow-up to running the ballot initiative that passed in Massachusetts in 2016. He does review the days and weeks leading up to the vote and share what it was that in fact worked to capture the win. He mentions media endorsements of course didn’t hurt, but it was gathering the physician community together to share their support of medical cannabis that most likely had the biggest impact. Jim also notes that the opposition used the some old arguments which may have backfired in a state like Massachusetts. Of course, those same arguments worked to great affect in the state of Arizona on the same day- so go figure. Jim also gives an update on the state's legislature’s actions before the vote and after and what to expect moving forward.
